You didn't say that you swapped out the toner. Let's come back to that point later.
Put paper in the manual feed tray. Print something. As soon as the paper feeds halfway into the printer, open the top cover. Pull out the toner, look down at the paper. Is it mostly black? If the answer is yes....replace the toner. Vacuum out the inside of the printer and print again. I think you have a bad toner cartridge
If the toner cartridges are "refills" that might explain some of your print quality issues. Unfortunately, HP only has 2 replacement parts for that model, the fuser and the ETB (Transfer belt) both would require a technician to replace. Check the transfer belt of any tears or punctures. Careful not to touch it, oils from your skin can cause quality issues as well. If at all possible replace all the toners with ones that were working fine.
Press Green Tick, Right, -> System Setup -> Right, Right, -> Print Quality, Right -> Replace Supplies.
Change from stop at out, to override at out.
It'll let you print, and you'll get loads more out of your toner before the pages start to fade.

This is caused by toner contamination in the laser scanner unit, it is quite a complex job removing and cleaning the laser scanner. I would suggest you contact HP regarding the repair.
